No. Every build has a specification and a constraint, and the redstone work is drawn on paper first.

Do we need a Minecraft account?

For the in-game portion, yes. The logic work does not require one.

What do they actually learn?

Boolean logic, circuits, resource planning and collaborative building under constraints.
